INTRODUCTORY NOTE 



The State of l^ew York was a very potent factor in the sup- 
pression of the rebellion of the Southern States. The City of 
Kew York was then as now, and more then than now, the financial 
center of the continent — and money has always been the sinews 
of war. I^ew York sent more than 400,000 of her sons into the 
service of the United States for the suppression of the rebellion. 
How she did it, what care she took of those in that service, how 
she provided for their families in their absence, and what she did 
after the war, down to the present day, for the benefit of the sur- 
vivors of the great struggle, can only be known from an examina- 
tion of her laws. In them is found the only full history of these 
various important transactions. Every one who has dealt with this 
subject has felt the want of a reference index to the statutes bear- 
ing upon it. For many years, I had intended to prepare such a 
table. Very recently, I was fortunate enough to interest my 
friend, W. Burt Cook, Jr., Assistant Librarian, Law Library in 
Brooklyn, in the project, and, though the scheme was mine, the 
execution for the most part has been his. The aim has been to 
include in the list every provision of law relating to this subject, 
except only those contained in general appropriation bills. The 
appended note to each act gives its subsequent history so far as 
ascertained. The Analytical Index is not meant to include all the 
laws mentioned in the Chronological Index. All that has been 
attemiDted is to refer to the first enactment of a statute, whether 
general or local, and, in the former case, the note will tell where 
it is to be found in the Consolidated Laws. For amendments, 
repeals and like changes, the note following the statute in the 
Chronological List should be consulted. It has been found neces- 
sary at times to vary this plan in order to co-ordinate statutes not 
expressly the same in terms, but the number of instances in which 
that has been done is not many. 

Dated, Brooklyn, X. Y., June 14, 1910.

Appropriations 

[Note — Appropriation and supply 
bills of the state and appropriation 
l)ills of New York city and county 
liave been included for the period 
1861-70 inclusive. From 1871 only 
special appropriation bills have been 
listed, although there are in the gen- 
eral appropriation and supply bills 
from time to time items of interest in 
this connection. The amount of time 
required to list these scattered items 
was deemed disproportionate to their 
importance.]
